What is the significance of the leading underscore in "self._bongo"? I've seen
this a few times and, after looking through PEP 8, I didn't see anything relevant, but I
could have missed it.
Single leading underscore is a convention indicating that the name
should be considered private and not used externally. It's a softer
version of the double leading underscore that means basically the same
thing but has syntactic significance.
Thank you!
PEP 8 says this is bad form. What do you think?
Where does it say that?
